Bride Stories
I had my dream dress ordered from a different company, and two weeks before the wedding, I was told my custom gown would not get to me in time! Needless to say, I was very upset and stressed out. My best friend's mother and sister decided to kidnap me and take me to Fantasy Bridal, where my best friend's sister had purchased her dress. My budget was very limited because the money I had for my dress was still tied up in the other company, and Fantasy Bridal managed to help me find a dress that fit perfectly, was incredibly…
Our wedding was was absolutely complete! We had a wonderful time with our families & closest friends who all attended our big day. The reception went pretty great too with all the Samoan food along with the dance group who performed countless polynesian dance numbers for us & our guests. We got compliments from everyone about the wedding dress and a few people even asked where I got it from! I told everyone that it was at a great price from Fantasy Bridal! It was stunning & I'm happy that it was a complete day. I even got to wear…
I looked everywhere before finding my dress at Fantasy Bridal and I'm so glad I kept looking until I found the perfect dress. When I put the dress on I felt like a super model and for someone who's not excessively thin that was an empowering feeling. One of my favorite memories is the look on my husband's face when he saw me for the first time on our wedding day. You could tell he was breathless. It was so much easier to be photogenic because I FELT beautiful in my dress. I love my pictures because when I look…
I loved everything about my wedding day but what made it perfect was my wedding dress. I don't think I could have found a more perfect dress for me. I will never forget my husbands face the first time he saw me wearing it. He was amazed!! I got compliments all night about how beauitful my dress was. I really felt like a princess and I couldn't of been more happy with how my day turned out. Thank you for helping me make it perfect!! Shireece Gines Event Date: 02/04/12
Your staff was so incredibly helpful the day I came in to look at dresses. I didn’t know to have an appointment and you still came to my side and helped me. I picked out a few dresses to try on, but all the while told the girl what I really wanted. When I was done with the selection I had chosen I was about to settle when the girl disappeared and came back with a dress. She said I believe this is exactly what you are describing to me of your fairy tale wedding dress. It had the beautiful…

My sister even used my dress as well just this last April. and my other sister bought her dress from Fantasy Bridal because mine was so beautiful! she was married in April as well!! haha my poor mother I know! Three daughters married within 5 months…

I loved my dress, it wasn't what I was looking for but I had been to every store in Arizona and tried on so many I was just burnt out! When I was at Fantasy Bridal, I grabbed a few dresses And saw it and I thought hey I'll just try it on why not! When I put it on it fit perfectly and it was beautiful!! I fell in love.…
Hi my name is McCall Dutson, my maiden name is Droubay. Me and my husband got engaged in July of 2011 and after 8 months of searching for the perfect dress I finally found it! Me, my mom and sisters went to Fantasy Bridal and after trying on just a few dresses I tried on what would soon be my wedding dress! I knew from the moment I put it on it was "the one"...my mom may or may not have teared up a little ;). I love everything about my dress and it fit SO perfect. It's like the dress was made just for me! The whole experience at Fantasy Bridal was great and the workers were so…
I had spent the entire day shopping for my wedding dress, when I was referred by another store to visit Fantasy Bridal. I called them on my way there and with very little notice they were able to fit me in on a very busy Saturday. I tried this dress on and the tears started to form in my eyes. I knew it was the dress! Fantasy Bridal shipped it to me in Chicago when I suddenly moved there and I was ecstatic the day it came. I loved everything about my dress and am so greatful that my dress…
My wedding was amazing and it all started with my beautiful gown. Waking up on May 12 of this year my stomach was in knots and I was so anxious. It wasn't until I finally slipped into my dress that evening that my tensions settled. I looked into the mirror and knew my dress was perfect and it was only the beginning to our perfect night. I loved everything about our special day. The flowers were beautiful; the groom was handsome and oh so sweet. He could not stop telling his bride how incredibly stunning she was. The way I…
Even on the Side of the Road By Brittany Titensor (Maiden name Brittany Bartholomew) After my engagement, the very first bit of planning I did was search for a wedding dress. I went to multiple shops, but was never satisfied with the quality or the prices of the dresses…. until a friend directed me to Fantasy Bridal! Within a few minutes, I knew I had found the right store. As I was looking through the (amazing) sale rack, I came upon The Dress. The material was of incredible quality – a stunning diamond white raw silk – that I had…
To begin, I just would like to say how awesome Holly was to help me find my gown. I went in there alone that day and she was so helpful and sweet and helped me find the dress that was perfect for me. I love my dress still and wish I could wear it more often. I love that there were so many ruffles yet it was still elegant, and the Organza that was mixed in the ruffles made all the more beautiful. I also loved how I felt in it, it made me feel small, skinny, and gorgeous in it.…
My name was Kathryn Hanks and I was very grateful for my Fantasy Bridal experience. It was the third dress I tried on, the first store I went to, and even after I tried a few more just to be safe I just knew that it was my dress. I loved my wedding dress because it was exactly me. It was classy and elegant but still relaxed and comfortable. My favorite was that I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world, not even that I had the most beautiful dress in the world. It was light and soft,…
I am so excited I get to share a little bit about what I loved about my dress and my big and magical day with you all! The picture is of the first dance that I shared with my new husband, Saxon. We danced to Tim Mcgraws “My Best Friend” which couldn’t fit Saxon and I more. Those of you who are married and got the chance to do a “first dance” with your groom know what I am talking about when I say that moment is PRICELESS. The way my groom looked me in the eyes that very moment…
Our wedding day was everything we hoped it could be. We had our dream wedding and I had my dream wedding gown!! I felt like a princess and LOVED wearing my dress. You all were so helpful at Fantasy Bridal and truly cared about me finding that perfect dress and having fit and look just right! The compliments on my dress were endless and I highly recommend Fantasy Bridal. Thank you for being part of this special occasion! Cassandra Averill Pickett Wedding date: 10.01.10
It was such a pleasure working with Fantasy Bridal. I am excited to have the opportunity to share with you all the role you and your dresses played in my wonderful wedding. I had this moment in the dressing room when I was dress shopping that I looked at the gown I loved and I felt this pull. The dress was spectacular. It was the dress I had always dreamed of wearing. I wanted everyone with me to feel what I felt and see what I saw in it. Though they weren't convinced at the time, I knew it was…
What I loved most about my wedding dress was the ball gown style. Had I gone for any other style, I would have lost the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dress up like a fairytale queen. :) I loved how my dress made me feel beautiful without feeling fake, and allowed me to dance like crazy with all my friends and family. What I loved most about my wedding was that our focus was not so much about us and what we wanted but what we imagined our guests would enjoy. We tried to tie a lot of our personality into the…
When I first walked into Fantasy Bridal I really had no intention of buying a dress let alone finding my dream dress. Then about 6 dresses in and one I didn't even choose- a creamy strapless gown with beautiful beading on the bodice and rouching with a peek-a-boo lace at the bottom. As the sales associate Saray laced up the dress I began to cry and knew from that moment that was my dream dress and I bought it that night. My wedding day came which was 9.10.11 and as I was getting ready that day it started to rain- not just a…
My wedding day was the best day of my life! My husband loved my dress! The entire day he could not stop telling me how beautiful I was! I have never received so many complements! Everyone loved my dress! It was my modern princess dress! It made me feel elegant and beautiful, and at the same time I felt like a princess! Everyone at Fantasy Bridal was so helpful and wonderful! I recommend them to anyone! They helped me find the dress of my dreams! Denise Van Leeuwen Sinquefield 8/9/2010
I have been married for almost a year and I still love to go back at least once a week and watch our wedding video or look at all of our pictures... because my day was fabulous! I did the old fashioned "wait until he sees you on the wedding day" with my dress and I'm so glad I did. Since we were married in a temple and didn't have a traditional ceremony I was the only one who saw his face when he finally saw me in my dress. It was right after we had been married and were…
Our wedding date was probably common with many other people but for a very different reason! My husband and I were married on November 11th 2011 yes that's right 11-11-11. We chose this date not for the cool numbers but because this day was veterans day and the man I was about to marry is a two time Iraq war veteran. My husband is a United States Marine! So naturally getting married on a day that would honor my husband was so meaningful but it didn't stop there. Our groomsmen all six of them are also operation Iraqi freedom veterans.…
This is the Story of Dallas Lynn (Parry) Stein & TJ Stein. How my soon to be husband and I were thinking of being in love & that it would be fun to be together for the rest of our lives. We were in a quandary trying to figure out how we'd pull it off and where to have it. As we were having a hard time coming up with money for the wedding. My mom and I decided to look at a few dresses at Fantasy Bridal. We were thinking of just going in and looking at the time because we had a few months before the wedding…
My name is Bailey Hendrickson. Chase and I got married on May 5th, 2012. It was and still is the best day of my life. I felt so beautiful in my dress. My husband said that I looked beautiful too. I think I might've even taken his breath away. That is every girl's dream right? To take their breath away? The reason that my day was so special is not because I knew that people thought I looked pretty in the dress, but that I actually felt like I could believe them. It was elegant, yet quirky like myself. I…
I thought my wedding day was perfect and everything was running smoothly until I was waiting at the temple and I got a phone call from the Groom's best man telling me he was sick and still in bed. I didn't know what to do and was concerned I wasn't even getting married on June 4th. About an hour later the groom was wheeled into the temple looking green in the face with his shirt un tucked and he was just not looking so good. They rushed him into the first aid room and shortly after the paramedics arrived. They…
On October 6, 2011 I married my prince charming in the SLC temple. When we were engaged I told him that I absolutely refused to get married in the winter, so we had a short two-month engagement. Planning a wedding in such a short time was pure insanity, but thanks to you guys I found my dress the first week after he proposed. I had looked on your website and knew what I sort of wanted. After five dresses- I found the one! It was a much easier process than I had expected. You guys were so helpful to me…
I have to say my wedding reception was more than I could ask for, especially when my husband and I got everything ready in 12days. I was a student when I started dating my now-husband, and I had to leave the country after we had been dating for a year. I went home to renew my student Visa, but things didn't go through as easy as I thought it was going to. My school lost my document, my Visa had already expired, my application got rejected and beyond that, there were many things that were making "going back to the States" extremely hard. I…
I loved my dress because it was so "me". I'm very crafty and creative, yet I try to keep things simple. My dress was gorgeously detailed, yet understated. Fantasy Bridal was so awesome in every aspect of my dress buying experience. It came in earlier than I expected, they a ordered extra lace for me to add my own touches to my dress, it was altered perfectly, and pressed beautifully as well (also earlier than expected). I had so many compliments on my dress, I would never change my mind, and it was perfect. I would recommend Fantasy Bridal to…
I am excited to share my little story with you all. My name is Sloane Netane. I was so lucky to marry the most amazing man I could ever ask for. Haloti and I got engaged in Feb 2011 and were married on July 2nd 2011 and later had a reception on Sept 16th. When I first went searching for my wedding dress I had 2 sisters, my mother, and my best friend. We looked all day for a dress, but at the end of the day I was not very happy with the dresses anyone brought me. Not only…
Ever since I was a little girl I had dreamt of my wedding day. I remember going to church at the young age of five, and as a five year old it is very hard to sit still and be quiet, especially at church. I was such a rowdy child, and my mom tried everything to get me to be quiet at church. Then my mom discovered that I love weddings, so she bought me a bridal magazine with hundreds of pictures of beautiful wedding dresses. This was called my quiet book for church. When I had that book in…
What I loved about my wedding dress is that it FIT me. Yes, it fit me literally, but it was so much more than that! It fit my personality and my style. Whenever I showed someone my wedding dress, more times than not, the first comment that would come out of their mouths was "That is so a Janell dress! It describes you to a tee!" I received sooo many compliments on it all throughout my wedding day. I've never felt more beautiful than I did on that day because of my dress and all the compliments about it. :)…
Hello ladies! My name is Aubree Leach but my maiden name was Ayers and my husband and I were married in November 2011. First off I just wanted to say thank you for even offering this opportunity! I love you guys! Planning my wedding was no easy task. My fiance was deployed to Afghanistan for 11 of the 12 months we were engaged! I was also in the Army at the time working for the state on fire duty. I have to say although it was a stressful and emotional time for me getting my wedding dress was…
We were married in San Diego in October. It wasn't necessarily a flawless day, but one thing that was absolutely perfect was my dress. It was exactly what I wanted, and I couldn't believe how well it was altered - no one could tell it used to be sleeveless. The only thing anyone said was that it was *stunning*, and consequently I felt absolutely radiant. And when you feel gorgeous, who really cares about the little mixups that happen in between, right? Thank you so much for giving me the perfect dress! Britta Larsen Event Date: 10/23/2010
